His restaurants are not only a destination for great food but fantastic atmosphere. Trained at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA), the world\u2019s premiere culinary college, he has worked as a chef at restaurants in Spain, France, and London, and spent five years as chef aboard the world\u2019s top cruise ship, the Queen Elizabeth II.  In this conversation, Chef Franco talks about his love of cooking with his mom and grandmother in Mexico at an early age, his brief time in dentist\u2019s school, his travels around the world, and how, despite training and working in top kitchens, he was denied work in Hew Haven as a chef, which lead him to create New Haven\u2019s first taco cart on Yale\u2019s campus.   ","author_name":"Becoming Human","author_url":"http:\/\/becominghuman.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
